If you had to write an argumentative essay to convince an audience that teenagers should not be allowed more than 1 hour of screen-time a day, what would be an appropriate thesis statement for that essay? 

• Teenagers should not be allowed to use technology for more than one hour a day because it distracts them from their responsibilities, keeps them from getting the sleep they need, and can lead to a host of mental health concerns. 

• It is my opinion that teenagers should spend more time outside instead of staring at a screen.

• Teenagers should not be allowed to take cell-phones to school because they are distracting, they can be stolen, and they can be used to cheat.

[by his fellow fishermen]”.
